Shamefully living up to the new name of the blog (work shy) recently. Since finishing my degree i've not been photographing much at all , a sort of lull after the storm. I now need some focus to drive me to make photographs. For many people, photographing is no effort at all, and they're right, you just press a button, what could be easier than that?
It is this aspect which makes it challenging. Especially with the dawn of digital imaging and the ubiquitous mobile phone camera. Everything has been photographed and continues to be photographed, adding to the wasteland of images which already exists, clogging up hard drives and gathering dust in lofts all over the country, even the world. So for me the question is, how to make something worthwhile? I beat myself up about this, I am hard on myself about what I deem to be good. But to produce something interesting, there needs to be something to hold the attention, and to pose a question.
All I know is that I am drawn to the light, and the way light changes.
